Who: Lacerta
Where: Lacerta dorms
When: Day 202, midday
What: Mirror has a bone to pick with Lacerta :| :|

[Man, there's a lot of glass spiders hanging out on Lacerta's dorm today. They hang from the ceiling from the cavern, cling to the sides of the dorm, skitter all along the rock floor in front of the door ... in fact, it's basically impossible to enter or leave the dorm without picking your way through a small sea of glass legs. They seem agitated.

A single voice rises from the group:]

Lacerta.

Who: You
Where: Arena
When: Day 196, Late evening.
What: Game 120

[A familiar summons pulls you to the Arena, and a familiar statue of Persona sits on the Throne. Four Blanks lie on plush couches, sleeping with apparent peace.

There is also a crate of what appears to be very simplified cameras. They have all the bare essentials and only one button, number of shots left reads "1"]

If you could show someone their heart, what would you choose? Would it be their greatest weakness, or their greatest hopes? Would what you choose have any meaning, and can a single image make a difference?



((NOTE: IF YOU ARRIVE LATE please PM Aviy to ask for a heart to enter.

Who: Who could it be?
Where: Lacerta
When: Day 178, night
What: Is that a knock on Lacerta's door?

Hello? Hello? Are the lizards home?

Who? Anyone
Where? Arena
When? Day 169, evening
What?

[Persona is up on the throne, but—What, didn't we go through this yesterday? It's not like anything happened then, either. What a pain.]

Are you feeling refreshed? Have you been enjoying this little period of reflection?

Who? You
Where? The Arena
When? Day 168, afternoon
What?

[Persona is up on the throne, but at least you're spared the sight of unconscious teammates today. Instead, there are huge mirrors everywhere, built into doorframes.

Can a heart be defined? If so, then how? Would it need to be thrown into direct relief, or simply gaze into its own reflection?

Does the prospect frighten you?

((Mingle

INSTRUCTIONS

The game is completely opt-in; do it if you feel like it, whether or not your character is able to make the original post. Remember when I said to list five defining character traits? Wherever they are (or whenever they leave their dorm), they'll find a note in their pocket listing those five traits. They themselves will no longer possess them - those five traits will be complete opposites until tomorrow's post. Nothing else (relationships, abilities, etc) will change.

There may be a small amount of dizziness and disorientation due to onset of a new personality, but that will pass soon enough. ♥

Check-in (Drop a comment here even if you aren't playing in this post!)
Post-reversal continued mingling!))

Well? How did you do? How do you feel you did?

Who: Anyone
Where: The Arena
When: Day 156, afternoon
What:

Are you becoming used to this sort of thing? Can the surreal slowly become the familiar? And how will you touch the hearts of your fellow Blanks today?

[Laid out on the black leather couches are Scowl, Wataru, Soujirou, Mikaila, Royal, and Trixie.]

What: What do you think?

[The call is sounded and Persona is on the throne. The game's "volunteers" are lying on plush beds with what seem to be giant screens with shadowy figures beside them, rather than doors.]

Who is the true "self?" Is it what you see? Or is it someone else?

Is there another side of you? Your friends?

Would you know it if you saw it?

Who: Cepheus, Lucky

What:

AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH, WHY WON'T HE WAKE UP!?

Who? Everyone
Where? The Arena
When? Day 135, late night
What?

[Persona's statue presides over the Arena today. There is a large, black door, and five black couches, with five sleeping Blanks: Spiky, Kirk, Masamune, Revan, and Zero]

What sorts of things will you find in a heart? Which one of these things is not like the others? Which one of these things doesn't belong?

What will happen if you leave it there?

Who? Anybody
Where? The Arena
When? Day 115, evening
What? I wonder...

[Man, didn't you just see this Judge? Well, today's game is Persona again, and she appears to be back to her usual modus operandi - unconscious people in black chairs. Today's victims are Excel, Kaito, Nora, Kohaku, Almaz, and Tailmon. Rather than the usual doors with colored assignments, however, there's simply one enormous black door, standing before the statue.]

Did you know that a heart is only as strong as its weakest link? That hidden in the darkness of cracks and corners, there are fears and insecurities the heart would be better off without? If I told you that you are to kill a piece of the heart today, something with real presence, such as a face and a voice... how would you respond? Would you forfeit the Game? Or would you make an attempt to improve the heart by rooting out and destroying a source of weakness?

Who: Anybody
Where: The Arena
When: Day 113, late morning
What: Game 76 conclusion

[As you step into the Arena, the titles fade away, as well as the strangeness that accompanied them. By the time you reach the Judge's statue, you feel normal again. Around said statue, there are tables set up, with color-coded tablecloths.]

Would you go ahead and put your photos on display for everyone to see? Once you are done, would you mind answering a few short questions?


((Photos are here; go ahead and peruse/talk about them in the mingle thread, and questions will be up shortly. I will close the votes at a quarter to 6:00, and announce winners at 6:00. Titleswaps were here, for easy reference.

ETA: GAME IS OVER. All photos may be kept, but all cameras disappear))

Who: Anyone
Where: The Arena
When: Day 112, morning
What: Game 76

[Persona presides over the Arena today, but the usual doors, couches, and unconscious people are conspicuously absent. The moment you step into the Arena, you feel strange. Not like yourself. And there's another change...]

[You can suddenly see everyone's titles, and your own, as clearly as if they had been there all along. However, something seems a little off...]

Is a person born or made? What impact does the way that others perceive us influence the selves deep down in our hearts? And what if you were to look through the eyes of another? What do you think you'll learn?

((List of new titles

Who: Lucky + Cepheus
Where: Cepheus
When: Day 100, evening
What:

[Excel - still looking a little bit TASED around the edges - has been having a bad day. Surely a visit to Lord Il Palazzo will help her morale! Especially if she brings him enough stuff to get tased all over again!]

Hellloooo...

I brought fiiiisshhh...

Who: Delphinus, Lepus, Cygnus, Lacerta, Vulpecula, Monoceros
Where: The Arena
When: Day 94, early morning
What: Loser game

[Three unconscious Blanks on three black couches, and three doors behind them with the helpful banners to tell you where to go. They are distributed like so:

LADY
Vulpecula
Delphinus

MAO
Lepus
Monoceros

CLOUD
Cygnus
Lacerta]

Are you having a rough time? Would you like something a little different?

What are your feelings on a treasure hunt? Can you find the key to a heart? Do you know where it is hidden?

((Mingle
Endgame))

What has changed, do you think? Have you left them for the better or for the worse?

Who: The Blanks?
Where: The Arena?
When: Day 72, morning
What: Don't you know?

[On the black couches, we have Rezo, Lady, Charlie, and Blade, all sleeping peacefully. Behind them are free-standing doors, and on each of those doors, three hanging scrolls in the following colors:

REZO
Hydra
Lacerta
Pavo

LADY
Lepus
Monoceros
Canis

CHARLIE
Vulpecula
Cepheus
Delphinus

THORFINN
Cygnus
Pyxis
Orion]

In what way would you touch the heart of a stranger? Can you harm the heart of an enemy?

What kind of impact will you make?
